None of those BMW's are a good buy, every single person I've ever known that's owned a 335 has spent $10k a year or more in maintenance out of warranty... such pieces of shit.
can confirm, it wasn't $10K a year but it was more than any other car I've owned.

335s look like a good deal as they are now approaching affordable.
you have to remember these were expensive cars when new. oil change every 5k to keep the engine and turbos healthy. if the car has been modded, you need to be even more meticulous.
at 90k, you have a big maintenance job due at 100k (valve cover, tranny flush, rear differential flush and look at turbo/engine health) and with all beemers you can expect electrical issues.
the water pump is another big thing that you will need to address and it's $2k.

the water pump is not 2k.. But I agree with everything else. From what it read and priced out, if you do it yourself it's about 3k for the water pump, thermostat, and hpfp.
Just last week my buddy has a 2012 and he had a minor weeping from the main seal... took it into BMW and they basically replaced every major gasket on the engine to the tune of $4,200... AND the infamous fuel pump replacement at the same time. Lucky for him he has an extended warranty transferred from the previous elderly gentleman owner (with every record from day 1 religiously changing the oil every 3,000kms with synthetic), but what the fuck is a 6 year old softly driven car with 60,000kms on it doing with its engine having to come apart??? Ridiculous.
Nice driving car, great power, but man it's the automotive equivalent of russian roulette.
Man I think that statement is more or less applicable to all modern BMWs. Built in obsolescences so that you can continue to buy newer and better model every 4 years.
